Hello,
Welcome to the HCM
If there is increases thyroid hormones level (hyperthyroidism),the person feels hypermetabolic,increased sweating,tremors of hands,increased heat in body ,irritation and palpitation.Also decreased weight is noted inspite of having normal appetite.
Decreased thyroid hormones can cause lazziness,increased weight,skin problems,and slow heart rate.
Since She is having problem of high blood pressure,I would also suggest get her lipid profile ,blood sugar test and ECG done to rule out other associated problems.Also atherosclerosis can cause high blood pressure at this age.
Get her checked by a physician to examine her thoroughly and discuss further.
Hopefully my answer will be helpfull.
Regards,
Dr.Maheshwari
